Part three of this weeks podcast examined a variety of different tools you can use to help you become more mindful and learn to tame the monkey mind

Mindfulness part 2 teaches you core mindfulness skills of observing, describing and participating to improve the moment and discusses how to use purposeful action in order to most effectively delegate your energy.

Mindfulness part 1 explores the difference between mindLESSness and mindFULness and how mindfulness can help you reduce not only emotional distress, but physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach upset, restless sleep and neck and back tension.

Before you can start on your journey to Happiness, you must first identify what is keeping you from being happy. What is causing your fatigue, irritability, impulsiveness, lack of motivation etc. Learn about the many different things that can cause these "symptoms" and how to identify what might be causing it for YOU.

There are many routes to Happiness, but along each route, at some point, you will need to address your nutrition, sleep habits, activity levels, relationships and unhelpful thinking patterns. This presentation examines how each one of these things impacts each other area.
